I love Internet radio. Since I got it (two, actually), I dropped XM.
They're still trying like hell ($4/mo vs. $18?) to get me back,
though. Maybe, if I get a new car.

I remember being stuck at a job during my university
days with only AM radio to fill the quiet times.
It was 1978 or 1979 and CBS radio was re-running old radio
shows from the 40's and 50's. Like reading, they
conjured up mental pictures and creativity that
film/video and CGA effects would be hard pressed to match.

I didn't hear the originals, but I've heard enough now that I've hit
some repeats. I have a pillow speaker and listen at night while I'm
in bed. When I wake at 4, 5 or 6 I push the preset button for "Imus in
the morning". When I get up I power up my FM transmitter and listen to
Imus around the house on my FM radio.
I suspect I'll be getting a portable internet radio before long.

I have warned those interested in AM DXing and building high end
antenna systems, "don't get an internet radio" it will receive all the
stations you want at anytime with no fading. I lost my interest in
putting another antenna system at my home.

If you are interested in high end AM antenna systems, check out Dallas
Lankfords work. The Dallas Files;
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thedallasfiles/
He hasn't put a lot new on the site lately, but his site has a lot to
digest. The last was some hardware to help measure high intercepts in RF
amplifiers.
You need to ask permission to join. It is worth it.

I like WSM in Nashville. It's on 650 AM. There is an over

from me. It is in a straight line, so it can't be nulled out.

I don't have an answer to that problem, I've always wondered about a
one frequency radio with a crystal ladder filter to pass the wanted
freq, and maybe another to short the unwanted to ground.

They splatter across a half MHz when they crank up the modulation,
late at night. A syncronous detector might help, but I've never
designed one.

Fox news should be so lucky. I prefer to listen to my music, i have only
about 10,000 tracks. Repeats tend to be weeks apart. So unlike OTA
broadcast stations. Maybe Web Stations do better.

I was going "salt and pepper" gray at 18.

I am effectively white haired now.

I watched Gunsmoke more in reruns than original.

[josephkk]

I think you may misunderstand the differences between the (vanishing) DX
type and the person who just wants this, that, or the other program
material.

Real DX'ers are all about that fabulous catch. I have two of my own;
early on about 1968 or so, in San Jose, CA I caught repeatedly for about a
week an Arizona FM station (about 500 miles). I figure it was a freak
E-layer enhanced tropo-layer bending shot. So not repeatable.

The other was getting KKHI AM from San Fran in Bremerton WA in the dead of
winter, i had to drive west a bit for best reception, but getting a little
bit of "home" was a huge attraction.

Call me an one time opportunistic DXer, still both are fabulous catches.

Poxy hell, Overmodulation DOES NOT extend range nearly as much as it

It's a geezer station, staffed by volunteers at a retirement
community. The only call the contract engineer when they can't get on
the air, at all.

Oh well. I also wanted to mention that I'm not quite old enough to
have listened to Steve Allen's start on KFYI (though I certainly
remember him on the Tonight Show- one of my few clear memories from
age four) or a radio version of Gunsmoke, which I remember the TV show
going from B/W to color when I was 14.

I overflowed that jukebox some time ago. Soon i will be able to put it

plug in something else and listen to audiobooks on long drives. And more
choices are becoming popular and thus easy.

Hi. I'm trying to relisten to a specific episode, but don't remember the name, in which a guitar player plays "Home on the Range" and Kitty says it's a bit sad-sounding, but she likes it. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I remember hearing that program, but have no idea about the number of
the episode. I'll do a little searching later when I have more time.
Try sending an email to the 3 station that play the old programs.
